Martin here from Envato Dev. Just wanted to let you know we’ve currently got our DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection operating against some attackers. It is working well but occasionally throwing up a few false positives which may cause occasional issues with access to the Envato Marketplace sites.

Please try again if this happens to you. We are working hard on it and it hopefully won’t last long!

Please continue to let us know if you have questions or are still experiencing issues, we will be monitoring this thread.

When this all dies down, maybe you guys could consider adding a status.envato.com type page (on a different server), where you could post alerts to this effect? That’d give us all the information we need and avoid Envato support being bombarded with questions when something like this happens.

And thanks for all your hard work! DDoS attacks suck.

Also, for anyone else reading this, I’m getting a lot of false positives it seems and getting locked out, I assume because I click around the site pretty quickly. For anyone else that accesses a few pages and then the site stops loading, try going a bit slower and you shouldn’t get locked out
